Ducati 1199 fitted with our electronics kit takes Daytona lap record

Following a successful test of the new Ducati 1199 race bike at Thunderhill - CA a few weeks ago the bike was taken to Barber for a few more laps and race wins, then on to Daytona where I joined them for a final bit of system refinement. Shane Turpin has really taken to this new bike and the advances in electronic controls which give him far more possibilities during 'turn in' and rapid corner exit.

From the outset the times came crashing down as he improved on last years 1198 lap time, but he waited until the last day and the CCS events to really show what he could do, taking 3 more wins and stripping nearly half a second off the lap record which has stood for 9 years.

Maybe the most surprising aspect is that the bike is a relatively standard 1199s fitted with Akra exhaust, Ohlins replacement internals and a very mild engine tune by Boulder Motor Sport.  With the major improvements coming from a revised chassis setup and the Bike Sport Developments electronics package.

Lots more to come from this bike with a heap of further developments planned for the winter, stay tuned...

Enjoy some video from Steve Metz as he powers his BMS prepared 1198 Ducati through his first ever laps of the Daytona speedway. Video is provided by our AIM Smarty CAM HD linked into the CAN systems of the Marelli SRT ECU. A beautiful bike on an awesome track. 

On board footage shows his Marelli MDU 220 dashboard and it is worth listening out for the 'auto blip' clutch-less down-shifts made possible by the full Drive By Wire electronics package we built using Marelli SRT.

Another great weekend with two more wins, making it 8 in a row and the 2013 IDM Supersport championship for Kevin Wahr on board his Yamaha R6.

A big thank you to Kevin for allowing me to use his bike and skills as an experimental platform for many new strategies and control methods, every race weekend I spent with him I learned a little more and Kevin was able to push that bit harder.

And remember that everything we develop in professional racing is also carried over into our customer bike projects for all type of track use and skill level.

This is the very first bike in the USA to be fitted with the Bike Sport Developments electronics kit and as usual the project has been driven by Brian Sharp at Boulder Motorsports in Colorado.

The bike took to the track yesterday for the first time and with Shane Turpin at the controls the bike put in over 50 solid laps while Brian, Joel and I worked on chassis and electronic setup, most of which were centered on optimizing the rear end grip and getting the 'Drive By Wire'  throttle feel right for Shane.

More on this project in a few weeks...


Brian Sharp - The Ducati 1199 is an important bike both now and for several years to come, this project puts us to the forefront of aftermarket development for this bike in the USA. With the addition of re-flash capability providing 'blip' and 're-tune' functionality for more standard bikes, and this new 'top end' Marelli based kit for serious users we can provide our track customers with a complete range of hardware and electronics for all budgets
Great end to the weekend with a win in race 1 and 2nd in race 2, not bad from 13th on the grid...and 1st time out for the bike.
